the real ma barker.
This movie is fun to watch. But the real ma barker really never did any of this stuff. And the barkers never met any of the other 30's superstar crooks

As this movie tells it. And why did'nt they put in Bonnie and Cylde? And the depression did'nt really start until 1929 not 1927. But the movie is a hoot for the lovers of cheap movies. Come on the armored car was from the 1950's not the 1930's
The dad here was wayyyy past the general term of being "whipped". All he did was whine, but let it go on. What a maroon! No wait...that woulda been the

the time, not so much in film. Here we have a depression era gangster group- yet all the kids talk like 1950's delinquents. Shelley Winters and Roger Corman had to have watched this film before they made BLOODY MAMA, and the lines in this movie from Ma Barker are priceless. Yep, it is violent. It is sleezy. It is even silly. But it's a great ride, too! Pop some popcorn, grab a beer, you are gonna like this!
